Some curious circumstances sur.
rounded the escape of McGarigle,
the Chicago boodler. The child.
like innocence OF the sheriff, who al
lowed his prisoner to roam over the
house with only Che latter's wife to
guard him, the exhaustive search of
the chamber after the bird had
flown, the careful examination of the
house from the outside before the
police was notified, and subsequent
desperate efforts of the police and
detectives not to find their maa in
fact, to carefully avoid stumbling
over him at street corner, in an
alley or by examining any of the
numerous hacks which were passing
up and down the thoroughfares, the
visit of the boodlers most interested
in the escape several hours before he
accompanied the sheriff to his home
all point to connivance on a big
scale, and suggest that somebody
else besides McGarigle should be
overhauled if the people of Chicago
would assert the dignity of the law
and their desire for its honest ad.

The Pope having decided not to
interfere with the Knights of Labor
question, the right of Catholics in
this country to join that organiza.
ton is conceded, and Cardinal Glib.
bons' views are sustained. 1t now
remains to be seen how the Pope's
ultimatum will effect Cardinal Tas-
chereau's position. The Pope does
not take a decided stand. He sim
ply says "there is no ground for
papal interference" In other words
he appears to be in favor of the pri-
mates of the United States and
Canada, who entertain opposite
views, to carry them out as they
may think best, in their respective
countries.--Americdn.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1887-07-30

A Democratic newspaper, run by
an Office holder, is strange institu-
ton. 1t sees everything right in its
own party and everything wrong In
the opposite; and whenever a doubt
enters it's mind as to what best to
say, it gives itself the full benefit by
running down the Republicans. 1t
doesn't take much material to make
up party of white-winged angels.
1t is false idea in politics to shield
everything for the sake of party;
the same as it is in the morals of re.
ligion and society to cover up every.
thing for the sake of appearances
and standing. Other "poor devils !"
have to answer for the last farthing.
Such hypocrisy in high positions
sickens the people who see through
it, and takes away what little faith
is left in anything. When man or
woman of little pretension falls, it's
terrible society is shocked, outrag-
ed and scandalized; the gospel is
disgraced, and piety gives its head
an extra twist and prop to show it's
disdain and mournful feelings; but
when something great collapses, it's
ga lie," sin and shame to talk
about, and more lights are put on the
social and religious affairs to dispel
the nooaday darkness /! So in pol
itics. My party is angelic, the sal.
walton of the country, the protector
of the peoples rights Yours is a
sorry affair. Education and civil.
cation should soon begin to tell in
minds more just and fair.

1t is difficult to understand why
public opinion will allow the fair
name and reputation of town or a
people to be sullied by the dastardly
acts of personal or political intrig
uery. For several years Wheeling
has had one disgraceful row after
another in her police and corpora.
tion management, yet the same men
are there who were there from the
start. Politics keeps them there, no
matter at what cost to decency and
justice. For the sake of politics the
press. and public leaders will sacri-
flee the public good for individual or
"ring" interests. The same at
CIarksburg, where justice sits as an
unbandaged goddess with bold eff.
frontery. Any place in which pub.
lie opinion and the rights and COM
mon proprieties of life have to be
sacrlhced for personal or political
ascendancy, is unfit for just and fair.
minded men to live in, and such
places deserve to lapse into back
woods obscurity. Wheeling police
come to the front again with a
scandal that is an outrage upon
decency and mockery of justice.
A young woman was enticed at
night into a stable, thinking the
door opened into private room of a
saloon. Once in half a dozen men
seized her, and only desperate
struggle and vigorous outcry saved
her. The police were there but
made no immediate arrests, and it
is almost certainty that the police
had hand in the attempted out
rage. The woman was fined $5, and
that would have ended the judicial
farce, but for the determined pro-
test of more law-abiding people. AS
it is, one policeman has been sus.
pended pending an investigation.
The righteous result should have
been half dozen libertines in jail
for assault and attempted rape.

LANSING, MICH, July 25.--Editor
HERALD Following are a few items
which may be of interest to many of
your readers.
The weather for the past 5 weeks
has been very warm and dry. Yes
terday the thermometer reached 1OS
in the shade, and last night we had a
frost that killed the cucumber, beans
and pumpkin vines, etc. You may
think that preposterOus, but its a fact
all the same. Crops of all kinds will
be short this year on account of the
dry weather.
There is quite an excitement now
prevailing over the Ishpenning gold
find. Assays of the quarts found on
the gold prospectof the Lake Superior
Iron Co., west of the city, gave $13 in
gold from twelve ounces of rock, or
$50, 900 gold to the ton. Miners have
traced vein 200 feet on the surface.
A store house is now being built to
hold the rock. More rock as rich as
the first was taken out yesterday.
